Paris Hilton's Attorney on Cocaine Arrest: Don't "Rush to Judgment"

Hours after Paris Hilton was arrested on suspicion of felony cocaine possession, her attorney David Chernoff has released the following statement:
"Paris Hilton was released this morning on her own recognizance. This matter will be dealt with in the courts not in the media and I encourage people not to rush to judgment until all of the facts have been dealt with in a court of law. There will be no interviews and no more comments at this time."

Police found an undisclosed amount of cocaine in the heiress' purse late Friday in Las Vegas, according to the Associated Press. Citing sources, TMZ reports that she told police the purse did not belong to her.
Hilton was linked to drugs twice this summer.
In July, she was detained in South Africa for alleged marijuana possession (charges were later dropped when a friend said the pot belonged to her).
A few weeks later, reports surfaced that Hilton was stopped in France after local authorities found less than a gram of marijuana in her purse. Hilton denied the second incident on Twitter, writing: "The stories saying I have been arrested are completely false!"
Tell Us What You Think
56She is young, in Vegas and so what. She is partying...Surprise! You think half of the people you know and work with havent done or is doing some sort of drug, most of which you wouldn't approve of? But because it's Paris Hilton everyone is going on and on about it. Maybe the donut shop was out of bear claws, cops are so LAME!
No rush to judgment...we'll slowly saunter to it. Paris' drug use record speaks for itself. All the connections and money in the world will not matter if she overdoses on something. Better to get her help while she is still here than blow this episode off.
Paris is guilty as sin. I hope the Bit.ch. does time. Paris is a drug addicted Who.re. Burn in hell Sl.ut. Paris Cu.nt. deserves to rot in prison. I hope this time Paris gets beat up and murdered in prison
why were they able to go in her purse anyway?
And one last thing we ALL know she won't get tossed in like LILO did.. Her parents would put a stop to that
@Lsk I said I didn't know I just gave ideas of what SHE COULD CLAIM happened ie someone put it in her purse. I wasn't defending her I think she has ALOT of growing up to do but I'm not going to be like SOME people and trash her. This will be my LAST comment on it. Paris is Paris and no one should really be surprised about this to be honest.
She only has a GED? She must have attended a top high school/private school. Why wouldn't she have her high school diploma? She doesn't need it, but one would think...
@Mrs.Pfc.Boyd: I didn't read all your comments. Seriously, what is the point of coming on and constantly defending your comments against strangers? I do that occasionally until someone comments online and I realize I should stop it. You don't know what happened, but you should get your facts straight and read other sources. Her boyfriend(?)/driver did get arrested as well that night and was released from jail much later than her. She's been caught doing drugs before and the police arrested her for the cocaine in her bag. The police wouldn't have arrested her without just cause. She may get off with her money and lawyer sharks. Eh. Hope she gets probation and has to be good for the next few years, otherwise if she violates, she will get tossed in jail like Lindsay Lohan.
And this is why the 29 year old only has a GED...she probably did not take the tests at school, do the papers, after years of panning things off on others why would it be her purse or her coke? Her nose is getting longer is this a sign of lying or using too much cocaine?
This "don't rush to judgement" comment from her lawyer on her FOURTH drug arrest is about the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. HOW is it rushing to judgement on her fourth arrest you moron. It would appear VERY strongly your client has a drug problem and she keeps getting caught. No judgement in that, just the facts pal.

@11:19 You are VERY WRONG I was only on 2 hours yesterday an I posted 2 comments since yesterday afternoon. I was not fighting anyone. I was telling Lori on another article that she was wrong in her assumption that bc the kid crawled at 7 months that made him mentally retarded. Drug um sorry I have NEVER done ANY. BTW if you look at the times on my comments you would know when I left and when I next posted. OBVIOUSLY I was not on a "rampage all night" (wasn't on one at all but OK your the one making idiotic assumptions). Lonely obsessed woman? Yeah You are wrong again... batting for zero. You know NOTHING about me and only look like a pathetic FOOL claiming to. In FACT I will post the TIMES of EVERY COMMENT IN PROOF THAT I WAS NOT ON SINCE YOU OBVIOUSLY CAN'T SEE THEM FOR YOURSELF!
how many times can she get caught with drugs that "aren't hers" ?
Don't jump to conclusions?! Is he kidding...Don't rush to judgment? She is nothing but a spoiled little rich girl who has a drug habit...She is a loser!
Mrs.PfcBoyd is a nut case. She is always defending the other trailer trash, Kate Gosselin. I think Mrs.PfcBoyd ran out of her psych meds again.
Mrs.Pfc.Boyd: YOU ARE A DERANGED STALKER, SEEK PSYCHE TREATMENT ASAP YOU ARE ON CRACK, METH, OR COCAINE, YOU HAVE BEEN UP ALL NIGHT ON A TYRANT VERBAL RAMPAGE. WHAT THE H*LL IS WRONG WITH YOU? FIGHTING A STRANGER RE ANOTHER STRANGER? YOU ARE WARPED AND I PRAY TO GOD YOU DO NOT HAVE CHILDREN.and each of you losers responding to this lonely obsessed woman with obvious mental problems is making her worse. go do something good in life. read a book, go helop a neighbor, volunteer your time to elderly or to soldiers, you are a sick women, girl, get to bed, and come down off that meth!
